Half slip no longer used because the waistband elastic is not very good anymore

First, I cut and repair small torn areas of the lower half of a printed dress which serves as the base for the skirt. I sew edges as neatly as possible.

Second, I cut scrap pieces of printed fabric to make a wide
waistband for the skirt. The pieces of fabric are short, so they are
joined together to go around the waistband. I joined 4 pieces of fabric
for the waistband. I used 4 buttons from an old sweater to decorate the
waistband.

Third, I sew the waistband to the skirt, with the crocheted shawl
sandwiched between the waistband and skirt, as shown in the photo.

Fourth, a smaller portion of printed fabric is cut and sewn to make two
ties for the skirt. Tassels are made using the eyelash yarn and sewn to
the ends of the ties, then the ties are sewn to the side of the skirt,
as shown in the photo.

Fifth, the skirt is turned inside out and the slip is sewn on, all along where the waistband is sewn to the skirt.
